Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices fail to synchronize documents and voices during editing, making it difficult for users to view inserted editing objects in chronological order when reproducing voice data.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus that synchronizes documents and voices by matching voice data with editing objects, using unique identifiers to track object insertion times and display them in chronological order during reproduction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If matching between voice and editing object is not performed, then the system structure remains simple, but the user cannot view editing objects in chronological order during voice reproduction

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveUser ability to view editing objects in chronological orderVSAvoidSystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by recording the insertion time of each editing object in an object table during the document editing phase. This pre-recording of temporal information enables chronological synchronization during voice reproduction without requiring complex real-time processing, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining relatively simple system structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an object table as an intermediary data structure that stores the correspondence between editing objects and their insertion times. This intermediary component acts as a mediator between the voice recording system and the document editing system, enabling chronological synchronization without directly coupling the two systems, thereby resolving the contradiction between operational ease and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple documents are edited simultaneously with voice recording, then document versatility is improved, but tracking and synchronizing editing objects becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAbility to edit multiple documents during voice recordingVSAvoidAbility to track which document each editing object belongs to
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the management of multiple documents by maintaining separate record entries in the object table for each document-editing object relationship. Each editing object is associated with its specific document through unique identification, allowing the system to track and synchronize objects across multiple documents independently, thus maintaining information integrity while supporting multi-document versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

When editing objects are inserted into multiple documents during voice recording, the system performs preliminary actions by immediately recording the document identification and insertion time in the object table. This pre-recording of metadata ensures that even with multiple documents being edited simultaneously, the system can accurately track and retrieve the correct editing objects for each document during reproduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
